Now for something I just learned.....

I have always transferred info from Mapsource into my Garmin MAP60CSx with the cable. It took forever...... I had an issue last night transferring maps into my GPS. For some reason Mapsource couldn't "find" my device. So this morning I removed the SD Micro chip and used the SD card adapter. This fits nicely into my laptop's card reader. Mapsource found the device in drive F: and the transfer of maps was.......well. Fast! In only a few minutes the transfer was complete. Before I would wait 15 minutes for the map set to build and another 15 minutes to send. Just goes to prove.....it's never too late to learn something new.

Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.

I guess I'm not smart enough to sync my PDA with the laptop via Bluetooth, so I've always removed the SD card from the PDA and stuck it in the slot on the computer to update the card. Works great! LOL!

Yes......

How often do you travel off the island and how far do you go? The 64MB card that comes with the GPS'r holds a lot of info. I had all of New England with City Navigator and Topo, on the original card it came with. The only reason I am downloading maps again is for the Quebec to Indiana road trip. 2 places I don't usually cache in.

You don't really need the card reader for the unit to work. It's just easier. The more you travel the more you would need to have it.
